Figure 2, a sectional elevation. i Figure 3, a planwith .the upper half.of' cone This inventionvrelates" more particularlyl to` furnishing, forthe condensationof exhaust steam, 'a

`cooling-tank which tapersto' the bottom, where the steamfis received,this -shapeallowing of the ready escape of lthe' warmed water upward,and a consequent new supply of cold water to fill itsfplace.`

` Also, tothe combination of the tank and thecou- A represents `awater-tank `of sheet-iron, copper,

y or'lbrass, in shape an invertedv frustum of a cone,

the ibottom, of which is wateia'tightpand formed by theriveting of itslower edge, t, withT the lower edge This tank is set in 'a similarinverted frust-um. of' a cone, B, leaving a -small space between each,and riveted together by ilanges,` at the' top k k.

The bottom of this latter frustum, B, is flat, andis riveted orboltedtothe same through a flange.

`I Setween the two `frusta A and B, a spiral Yineline, a, extending fromwall to wall, and rivetedto either wall, acts as a conveyer of thereceived steam several times around th`e `tankulntil it reaches (if notby this time`.condensed) the collapse-valve m at the topofvthe` outerfrustum B. This spiral may-be carried around three `or more times. i

`C represents the cone before mentioned, made in two pieces, united byhorizontal flanges, d,-and' bolts this division being for the purpose of'remov- ,ing the lime-catcher1),` beneath the cone, for the upwardpassage ofthe steam and the return of the condensed steam (water)` `intoVthe pipe 11", to be returned to boiler force-pumps. p

Dis the lime-receiver or box, which is removable from theexhaustfchamber in the' cone (l by removing the apex of said cone, todischarge sedimentary may be occasionally required from the tank.v

` This box D hasthree openings; the one, E, is the i frusta A and B,where it rises continually against Athe impending sides of the tank A,falling back in streams along the spirals c a., and' back through thesaid. notches c e and f j, into the opening AIl or passage to theforce-pumps.

The' conical shape of the tank, which allows the more rapid rise to the'surface of thertank of the warmed water from the condensing surface,and of a quick return of cold water in place of the warm. Also, 'of anilnpinging currreut of cold air against the impending sides' of theouter case B, by reason'A of the flaring of the sides of the latter.

Also, the concentration of steamto one p oint by the shape ot' theconical chamber, immediately underthe cold-water pipe, over the. apex ofthe "cone C or exhaust-chamber.

Also, the additional advantage of a'box for receiving lime-concretions.

What I claim is 1. In a condenser for steam-engines, the combina--concret-ions received from the extra feed-water which l pieces nted byhorizontal flanges and bolts al, and

`having the notches e e cut in its base, or equi-vaabove, substantiallyas described and for the purposes set forth.
